battle of Chocolate Semifreddos

the first recipe i tried was from i shot the chef who was a professional chef and whose husband is a professional photographer, (he takes amazing pix!). it was a painfully easy recipe, simple ingredients and steps. good thing too because i was fixated on making my bbq meatballs. essentially, it came out very well. my friends loved it and it was gone in minutes. the lighting wasn't the best so i only snapped a few pix.

the second recipe i chose was from one of my favorite bloggers, use real butter. seriously, i sweat this woman. her recipes are awesome and she's never steered me wrong. i made this monday afternoon. i went to TWO different grocery stores looking for marscapone cheese and let me tell you, at the 2nd place i damn near threw a hissy fit. i would've liked to have come across this on monday but oh well. i made do with whipped cream cheese instead. verdict: it tasted good too, albeit slightly heavy. my coworker liked it and really, that's all that matters.

i think i'm done with semifreddos for now. the weather is getting cooler and all the desserts i've been making this summer is burning me out.
